Outstanding little inn with a very friendly staff that knocks on your door in the middle of the night to let you know that the lights are in the sky. By no means is it palatial but it is exactly what you need if you come to Iceland to see the lights. It is located in the perfect location for just that. Bring your own TP … theirs is like sandpaper. You’ll need a car for this location too unless you’re comfortable taking a bus or calling for a cab. I’d recommend this hotel to anyone traveling to Iceland.

Amazing

Lighthouse Inn exceeded all my expectation. The rooms are very spacious and very clean. The staff were friendly and the Chef was amazing. We visited around Christmas time and the Chef made Cojito and gave us some. I would Definitely rebook this hotel.

This is the best property I have stayed in my life. There is no competition like at all. It was pristine. It felt like being in a cabin away from home. Breakfast was so lovely and they also offered to have it packed up for me since my flight was so early. The weather was no good but I felt very cozy. If I ever visit Iceland, I know where I’ll be staying.

Great location for impromptu northern lights watching, super close to the airport. The rooms are comfortable, warm, clean. Include the expected amenities (fridge, kettle, safe) and the free breakfast was a quite nice way to start the day!
